Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm X70 is significantly lighter (295g ) than the Leica X-U which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the X-U, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the X70.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica X-U and Fujifilm X70's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Fujifilm X70 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Leica X-U sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
